"Only One Issue with the Ampeg cabs"
Feature:
The horn can be adjusted to where you like it. Speakon or 1/4 inch inputs. Just a basic bass cab.
Quality:
Well, this is the only area I was dissappointed in becasue of the covering. The covering is coming off in many spots. This is not due to abuse or neglect. It's used regularly and is moved around a lot. I think my Peavey held up better. The bulk of problems start when the covering got a little hot at outside gig. It tore from a zipper on a gig bag of my bass laying on top of it. The wood is good sturdy and the wheels help a lot.
Value:
It's high end gear for the high end price. In the end everybody would like to pay less.
Sound:
It's an Ampeg. Crystal clear sound. I crank it way up, and never distorts ot falters in any way.
Ease of Use:
I gave it a 9 becasue it's so dang heavy. So to use it, it takes effort to bring it to where I need it. After that it's plug and play.
Support:
Never needed them with this or other Ampeg stuff I have had.
Overall:
This thing will work for ever. I won't buy another one unless I get another one just like it to stack! I just need to either cover it again or spray paint it. Thought about putting diamond plate on it.

"The Best 4x10 Cabinet On The Market"
Feature:
It's relativley heavy. But, the casters, back slide, and heavy duty side handles make it a breeze to move. The integrated horn and rear mounted attenuator are another exceptional feature of this cabinet.
Rear input/ouput jacks (1/4" or Speakon) allow total flexability when choosing speaker interconnect cables.
Quality:
Cabinet construction is excellent. A clean non cluttered cosmetic design says "all business." The tolex covering is "tight" (no visible seams), Rear input/output jacks are of the highest quality and solidly mounted. Heavy Duty metal side handles, back slide handle, chrome corners, and casters are all of the highest quality.
With all due respect to my former Peavey rig, Peavey cabinets are made from OSB, tolex seams are poor and subject to tearing, and plastic side handles which are prone to breakage.
Some folks seem to object to Ampeg's use of grill cloth (as opposed to metal grate.) I don't don't see this as a deficiency as there is no possibility of "rattle" with grill cloth and less chance of accidentally "poking" a speaker cone. Just use a good quality cover (or ATA case) and worry no more about the grill cloth.
Value:
Well worth every cent I spent. IMO a superior product to similar Eden and SWR offerings at a lower price.
Desirability:
As mentioned, a clean, no nonsense appearance. The true "marvel" of this cabinet is the engineering that premits it to accurately reproduce a clean audible tone down to 28Hz.
Sound:
The sound (particularly the low end) is simply incredible. I auditioned 2 of the top competing 4x10 speakers cabinets (Eden & SWR) and found the HLF to be superior in every way. IMO, it simply doesn't get any better than this.
Ease of Use:
As easy a pie. Simply choose a quality 1/4" or Speakon cable...plug it in, set the horn attenuator to the desired level, and play.
Support:
Although I've never had a problem with the HLF, I did call support regarding an impedence question and received a rapid and courteous response.
Overall:
I have no plans to replace this cabinet -ever. If I had to though, I would look no further than another HLF.
As mentioned, I am convinced that this cabinet is superior to both cpmparable Eden and SWR 410's (which I've not only auditioned, but used.) And, at a slightly lower price. Hard to beat that equation.
